Sir
In reply to yours of the 15th inst I will say that the next term of our Circuit Court meets in October & that the trustees to be selected could not be confirmed before that time. If any part of the $200/$ or all of it should be sent home I will see that you get vouchers & other evidence showing a proper disposition of the funds I saw one of the reading spirits of the interperial last night who informs me that they want if possible to get the funds so that the building may be completed next month. The foundation is already laid & some of the lumber is already bought partly on the hope of getting some assistance from the Bureau which has been promised
